Saturday, My mother and I visited a friend, an artist -Terry C Johnson. We went to lunch at Farmington Station at the Twigs restaurant. I can recommend the roasted beet and pear salad. My mother enjoyed the Ceasar with pecan salad.
We then shopped for a while.
After a little more conversation, I collected Terry's art for the art center's art auction.

Surrounded by Artists
I am always surrounded by artists. Of course you are, you will say after I remind you that I work at an Art Center. The month of February is always filled with artists. It is the month that we collect work for our annual fundraising event- an Art auction.
It is almost as fun as Christmas to see the artist and the new works they bring in. I enjoy my job and enjoy talking with these artists and I always am hopeful that we will sell their work. The Art Center takes a commission on all works sold through the auction.
And of course, I work with artists. The director was an award winning floral designer before he came to the center. The curator of education is working on a master's degree in arts education. The other day while teaching a printmaking class to teenagers, she created and printed a mermaid which she shared with me. The newest employee is my niece. She is a talented clay artist like her mother. She gave us all small clay sculptures for Valentine's Day.
It is so fun to be always surrounded by artists, I recommend it.
